Flame at will, but I readily admit that I would love to spar someone using those pajamas.

Actually administering a beating on someone wearing those would also achieve new levels of coolness.

Come on, we all liked Warriors 2.

That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,
Quiet the dog, tether the pony
To a distant post;
Our master Caesar is in the tent
Where the maps are spread,
His eyes fixed upon nothing,
A hand under his head.

fighting in silk is a testement to just how weak kung-fu is, i mean how long would that hing last in a 30 second fight.

this is up there with "monkey steals the peach".

Eduardo "Why'd you stop."

Me "I was kicked in the head by the guys sparring next to me."

Eduardo "Ino what happened but i didnt say you could stop."

Me "Um.. I guess I keep going."

Eduardo "You dont stop until i say stop, you dont get tired until i say your tired, keep going."

My cousin gave me some tapes of him doing tkd. I learned from those tapes. When I beat up an Akido instructor, and made him take rest breaks, I used TKD. I learned Bjj from watching ufc and pride and then I copied them and wrestled my cousin for practice. I choked him out and he tapped.

This reminds me of a guy who came to train at my old academy. At the time we did a RBSD program that incorporated a lot of different stuff. Kickboxing, Judo, JJ, weapons, etc. All of it was full contact and highly combative. So many people who just wanted some basic self defense would show up as well as people would already knew how to fight and wanted the heavy contact.

Well that should set the background.

I told a story not long ago about a guy who came in and wanted to learn that 'One jitsu move that would just break a guy in half', no kidding those were his exact words. Well, this little ancedote comes as a precursor to that story.

We were practicing in your face kind of striking. Where the bag is 4 inches from your face and you start from a neutral hands down squared up stance. There was only like 5 of us there at the time. Most people used a headbutt or elbow opener and then stepped back to open up with a series of punches and pivoted around the bag to continue.

Not this guy. He was dropping down into a squat and punching DOUBLE FISTED into the bag.

I was like...WTF...

So I ask him what he is doing.

No kidding, his answer was that if someone got in his face he was taught previously to drop down and punch them in the knees. Yes, he said it with a straight face and utmost sincerity. Double punch to the knees...

And lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings. And Kano spake: "Do not be concerned with the mote in thy neighbor's eye, when verily thou hast a massive stick in thine ass".
